I am enjoying this picture very much, actually. I don't know why, but the sudden urge to flamboyantly express myself in the pictorial media just happened, and the next thing I know, Morri's staring at the side of the page with a strange expression on his face. I think it's that look that says, "Ooookay...right, uh-huh...let me get my crowbar." xd
Now, I just need to put MUNE in there, and we're all good, right? wink
If I had a scanner, it would be online. Since I lack this particular item, it's going to have to wait. Granted, I will be getting one as soon as I can, but that might be at the end of the month, so.... *shrug*
Let me find the tenacity to pick up a scanner and not the latest edition of Fullmetal Alchemist. sweatdrop

I currently hate my school with a fiery passion unequalled in the depths of hell. Who turned in all of their FAFSA information? Me. Who filled out the stupid Dependent Verification Form, copied W-2s, Tax Forms, and found signatures for both my parents and myself? Me. Who started the process before the priority deadline for continuing students, and finished it before summer school started? ME. xp
So, why, oh why, is the financial aid office being such a *bleeeeeeeeeeep!* stare
Who makes me file the stupid Dependent Verification form when I haven't been a dependent for almost 3 years now? Them. Who's had me file this stupid form 4 years in a row? Them. Who is the only state-run institution that believes people are not adult until they turn 24? Ohohohooo! Answer is THEM!!
Hisss!!! scream
*5 minutes later* ACK!! eek
I'm...going to die....they actually...did something... eek
*peruses*
Well, heck. It's to be expected that most of the money coming in is going to be through loans. I'm lucky enough to have been in college for four years without having more than $10,000 worth already. sweatdrop
But...and here's the key... I only need enough to cover expenses. I've got two jobs for goodness sake! I don't need to rack up enough debt to keep me unhappy for the rest of my life! Gah! xp
But now I am happy. Because Financial Aid has finally done something constructive. 3nodding

As for the music side of things, I have completed no. 7 of Definition, the song cycle I am writing for mezzo-soprano, alto, and piano. It is based on poems by Emily Dickinson, and the last, which I have titled Eternity is this:
This world is not conclusion;
A sequel stands beyond,
Invisible, as music,
But positive, as sound.
It beckons and it baffles;
Philosophies don’t know,
And through a riddle, at the last,
Sagacity must go.
To guess it puzzles scholars;
To gain it, men have shown
Contempt of generations,
And crucifixion known.
The whole point of this cycle is to chart the path of a life, from beginning to end. And to maybe...maybe....find something out about myself in the process.
The last three, Waiting, Death, and Eternity, are completely finished - except for the expressions, dynamics, and breath marks. You know, that extra fun stuff that, after all is said and done, I'd really rather not do, but know is necessary if the final product is ever going to get off of the ground. sweatdrop
*sigh*
In that respect, my choir piece is nearly completed. Hopefully, I'll have it done within the week, and be able to deliver it to the choir director by Monday. Did you know, they're going to perform it for me this year? MY rolicking, happy, sailor song? xd
It makes the knowledge that my string quartet is too difficult a little better. Not much, but a little. cry
Everything probably ought to be done by the end of September. I've set the date for my senior recital to be the last Tuesday in November, the 29th, and pending any ensemble bumping it to another spot, I get to keep that day. I still need to do something with woodwinds, percussion, solo piano and...*sigh* strings again, I suppose. xp The problem with a senior recital is that you have to show how flexible you are. I have an idea for a band piece, but it would take too long to write to get it in before the recital date. So I think...right afterward...I'd like to find time to do it. 3nodding
If I make through the summer in one piece. sweatdrop
